[Kingdom of Helios – Ten Days Within Merlin’s Hibernation]Elliot is going through hell. Literally, every day he spends inside the king falls nothing short of the category of torture. With the intense physical training to make his body as hard as steel. Followed by combat training using real weapons. Aiming to sharpen his senses by giving him the most lethal of situations. There are times when the wounds are deep. There are times when entire body parts are cut off and he’s left bleeding to death. But all of that is healed and fixed by the medic team of the kingdom that’s just as good. A group that reached a level of expertise because of the number of times they had to heal citizens of their kingdom because, even little kids have the tendency to beat each other up to death.Then there’s the mana training. Elliot is forced to diffuse all of his mana. Draining himself entirely and leaving himself close to fainting. He’s then made to drink a specialized fruit that restores his mana to fu
Elliot immediately swung his axed towards Lazaro. No second thoughts. No hesitation. Just pure rage, placed into one attack that hit nothing but air. Cutting through the wind as the sound of it tearing spread along with the blast that reached the edge of the hall.“Woah, relax will you.” Lazaro said, reappearing at the other end of the room. Completely alive and without any signs of getting hurt from the attack Elliot released. “It’s not like I did it with any ill will or intention.”“YOU!”Elliot has no intention of listening to the lies of the bastard. His mind is already drained form the never-ending cycle of training. He is at his limit without any way to relieve his stress. And all of this pent-up stress of his finally found an outlet because, he finally snapped.“Elliot, come on man, calm down will you?” Lazaro said.“CALM DOWN?!?”Elliot released a large amount of mana that spread across the room. Red and hot just like Samira’s but, more intended and directed. Placed into the w
Elliot escorted Teach to the front of their kingdom, all the way outside. From what his own father said, it is fine for the rest of this day’s training to be skipped altogether. An astonishing command for Elliot who has never gotten any time to rest even during the times when he almost died due to the same training. But now it’s being cancelled just because of Lazaro’s visit. “I should come here more often.” Lazaro said. “It seems like you need me to get some rest.”“Do me a favor and don’t.” Elliot answered.“Ouch. No need to be so grumpy you know.” Lazaro faced the prince of Helios. “I thought we’re already on the same side.”“I don’t know what you did to my father but, whatever it is, I doubt it’s anything good.” Elliot answered.The two of them continued walking down the busy streets of Helios. This is also Elliot’s first time getting out in a while. The fresh air and the change of pacing is a welcome turn for him. He can get used to this but there’s no way his father would allow
Lazaro deviated from the plan.His master never mentioned anything about going to Helios kingdom and imploring the aid of Elliot the Prince. There was never any order for him to talk about Merlin Warlock. In fact, he’s even told to keep his lips shut about his existence and that nobody else should be made aware that the Emperor of Requiem is still alive.But Lazaro didn’t listen. Call it mischievousness or call it his hardheadedness, the fact remains that he doesn’t care. As long as he doesn’t get caught by his master or that blasted right hand man of this frighteningly overpowered person, then there’s nothing for him to be worried about. And he made sure of this as well. That he won’t be caught by them.Lazaro took all the necessary measures in order to ensure that he can trick these two. He is an illusionist after all and, if he can’t do this much, then he isn’t much of an illusionist as w
Kraken.The name of the pirate groups isn’t something their leader arrived at based on a whim. No. This is something that they got based on the monster they own. The great Sea Beast, the Kraken. A monster with one tentacle being long enough to reach the end of the city if it whips from the shore. With the mass being thicker than a ship and, can destroy three of these same vehicles with a simple whip of its tentacle.That is how powerful it is. As such, it should be impossible for mere humans to have control of it. That is, unless there is an item they’re using in order to do so.[Item Name: Kraken’s Heart][Item Grade: SSS]{Information: Extracted from the heart of the great beast that’s still alive, as long as it’s in one piece, the kraken might survive any kind of damage. Anyone who has hold of it gains the undying loyalty of the monster.]Nobody knows how the pirate king got his hands on this. He hasn’t told a single soul about it as well and, even Merlin himself isn’t able to find
[Above Ground – Kraken City]King Raksha or, rather, the pirate king, made his way to his office. A place that nobody can easily enter. After all, leaving himself alone with another person is a recipe for disaster. There are too many individuals that want to take him down for him to rest easy talking privately inside a room. That rule isn’t applied to the current moment though. There is a person inside his office that day. Waiting for him as he finishes the conversation in the prison and, now, it’s time for them to meet.“Did you wait long?” King Raksha said as soon as he entered the room.“No. Just a couple of minutes.” His guest said as this person sipped a cup of coffee. “I hope you don’t mind though. I already made myself at home and poured one cup.”Meanwhile, the pirate king only sighed. It’s not like there’s anything problematic with what this person did. His guest has already been marked with a crest that prevents him from touching anything off limits within that room. That’s
The following day, everything continued the way that Philein intended it to. Lazaro got a contract with King Raksha which prevents him from disclosing anything he might have seen or heard to the outside world. He’s also forbidden from coming back to the city. Lastly, even though there’s a very small chance of it happening, Lazaro is forbidden from taking part in any plans that would result in the death of Raksha.The binding contract was finished quickly without any hitch. As a result, they’re able to proceed to the next part – kicking Lazaro out of the city. If there is anything about this which Lazaro can be applauded for, it’s the fact that he remained in his disguise the entire time.Up to the very last second, right before he is teleported out of the city, he continued using the face and body of Kelzio. Even though the pirate king has told him time and time again that it’s not believable, he still proceeded with it like a stubborn kid. And so, this is also his appearance once he
Kelzio died.No.Kelzio is assumed to be dead.There was never any corpse found but, the pirate prince is assumed to be dead. That’s the only logical thing that can happen as far as Lazaro is concerned.When Merlin Warlock went berserk inside the city together with his three trusted monster generals, a great catastrophe fell upon it. The barrier of this great city that never yielded, shattered from the highest point. From this came an earthquake unlike anything that the city experienced before. With houses falling down left and right and stronger buildings receiving the same fate.Then came the hail of darkness. The explosions caused by the demon lord Merlin who did not spare a single soul in this act of mass murder. He killed anyone and everyone and, as this happened, his bombardment reached the quarters of Kelzio.Lazaro himself confirmed Kelzio’s death because of this. There are remains of a human that are burnt and smashed within the rubble of Kelzio’s abode. As far as the illusio
